greatly improved material well-being in several areas of life. In the field of medicine, cures for life threatening
diseases have enabled people to live longer. In communication, the telephone and e-mail have made it possible
for us to communicate with anyone in the world without leaving our homes or offices. Advances in
transportation allow businessmen to fly across the ocean in the morning and return home the same evening.
Space technology has put men on the moon. More efficient ways of using available resources, such as coal
and solar power, have been explored.
Scientific discoveries have also changed man"s moral atmosphere. Ethical (伦理的) issues are raised by
these discoveries. Should we keep a terminally ill person alive through drugs and machines or should we allow
him to die in dignity? With advances in transportation had come the problem of pollution for nearly every major
city in the world. If cities become uninhabitable, then such technical advances may come with too great a price
to pay. Many people also question the wisdom of sending men to the moon when there are urgent problems
that have not been solved on earth. During future years, increasing attention must be given to the moral as well
as the practical applications of science.

举一反三
threatening life on Earth, so we must make the changes. The good news is that many of those changes are
really quite simple, even enjoyable, but for every careful step we take as individuals, we must press
government and industry to take a big step on our benefit. And we must start now. Tomorrow"s too late.
My aim this year is to persuade as many of my friends and colleagues as possible to choose the train,
and leave their cars behind too. My gardens have been pesticide (***虫剂)-free zones for years and I enjoy
seeing more wildlife on my doorstep as a result; I"ve tried to reduce my contribution to water pollution too,
by using environment-friendly, phosphate (磷)-free washing powder, and by no longer thinking of the toilet
as a suitable waste-disposal (处理) point.
I ran after a young lady through town recently to give her back the piece of paper she had carelessly
thrown away. She disappeared into a shop, and when I followed her inside and made my presentation, she
was doubly embarrassed-she worked there, and the boss gave her a ticking-off too. I"ve started asking
fellow drivers at gas stations why they aren"t using unleaded (无铅的) petrol. These are small things, but
we have to start somewhere, and every little does help.
B. throwing away the old cars
C. avoiding the use of pesticides
D. running after those who throw articles carelessly
B. to give her back the piece of paper she had lost
C. to tell her not to throw away pieces of paper carelessly
D. to ask her to pay him for picking up the piece of paper.
B. a piece of paper
C. prize
D. ticket
B. inform us of the good news
C. make clear who is responsible for the environment
D. try to advise us all to protect our environment
Let"s see how…
A heart attack can happen to anyone. Let"s say it"s 4:17 p.m. and you"re driving home (alone of course)
after an unusually hard day on the job. Not only was the workload (工作负担) extremely heavy, you also had
a disagreement with your boss, and no matter how hard you tried, he just wouldn"t see your side of the situation.
You"re really upset and the more you think about it, the more nervous you become.
All of a sudden you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to spread out into your arm and
up into your jaw (下巴). You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home, unfortunately you
don"t know if you"ll be able to make it that far.
What can you do? You"ve been trained in CPR but the guy who taught the course didn"t tell you how to
perform it on yourself.
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seems in order. Without help the
person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel faint (晕眩的) has only about 10 seconds
left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very
powerfully. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and last long, as
when producing sputum (痰) from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every
two seconds without stopping until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep
breaths get oxygen into the lungs (肺) and coughing movements squeeze (挤压) the heart and keep the blood
circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm (节奏). In this way, heart attack
victims can get to a phone and, between breaths, call for help.
Now, do you understand the whole matter? Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save
their lives!
B. help someone treat a heart attack by himself
C. teach people how to stay in good state
D. train people how to stay calm when facing dangers
B. to get oxygen into the lungs
C. to keep the blood circulating
D. to reduce the pain in the chest
B. not only the chest aches when one suffers a heart attack
C. people should attend a CPR course to survive heart attacks
D. one should cough loudly immediately one"s chest aches
B. Advertisement.
C. Family.
D. Teaching.
country areas to learn about AIDS, one of the biggest threats to public health in the world today.
China has decided to use user-friendly methods including exhibitions, VCDs and TV programmes to
spread knowledge of the disease across the nation to try to keep it in check.
Educating people nationwide about AIDS is the top priority (优先权) to prevent the disease from getting
out of hand. The farmers will be given knowledge in the easiest way that they can understand.
A recent survey from the commission (调查团) of more than 7,000 people in China showed that nearly
20 percent of them had never heard of AIDS before. Just over 71 percent said they knew AIDS was highly
infectious (传染), but most of them had no clear idea of how the disease could be spread. Just over 62
percent said they knew they could do things in advance to prevent them catching AIDS but they didn"t know
what these measures were.
The month-long survey, carried out last December, talked to people in seven countries and cities across
China including both developed coastal areas and less-developed inland areas. The interviewees changed from
15 to 49 years old, and country residents were about 63% of the total surveyed.
Chinese residents, especially those in the country, have very little knowledge about what AIDS is all about,
not to mention prevention and treatment. By the end of last year, there were 22,517 known HIVAIDS cases
in China. However, more than 6,000,000 people in China have been infected.
Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS-466 of them have died. Sharing needles,
prostitution (卖淫) and contaminated blood transfusions are major ways for HIV to spread. A lack of education
has been the biggest difficulty against nationwide efforts to prevent AIDS, especially in the countryside.
B. make people know about AIDS
C. call on people to fight against AIDS
D. tell us people are short of the knowledge of AIDS
B. the shortage of money
C. its infection
D. lack of education
B. over 6,000,000
C. 880
D. over 7,000
drawing to a close.
When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation,
but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before
his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the
stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and
stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come
home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim"s
father was 48.
"I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says. "He felt that if he had not asked him
to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was
the trial (判决) he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age
of 48.
Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences
produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim"s,
studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart
disease and mental illness.
B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close
D. the first one wasn"t well performed
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s.
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 48
a. One"s genes.
b. One"s life in childhood.
c. One"s physical education.
d. The date of one"s birthday.
e. The opinions one has about something.
B. a, b, e
C. a, c, e
D. b, c, d
warning they can also become a key health concern.
Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and
straps have become longer, resulting in many users complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems.
"I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and
pick it up," said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas. "We
take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they"re anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds. We"re really going
to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big purse craze."
William Case, a physical therapist (临床医生) in private practice in Houston, Texas, urged designers "to
place a cute, educational caution tag (标签) on all bags to inform buyers of potential neck and shoulder
dangers." Above all, he suggested correct posture while carrying big purses, keeping the head and shoulders
upright. Patients should also often change the size and weight of purses carried.
"The extra-large purses are quite extraordinary. They look beautiful when the women wear them, but I
don"t know how aware they are of the potential problems," Case said.
Placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient (高效率的) ways of carrying a load,
according to a professor from Cornell University in New York State. "This causes a great imbalance," he said.
"If a big bag is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If not, then keep it light."
B. were worth a lot of pounds
C. were too heavy
D. were too large
B. The part of your body where you place a weight.
C. The strength you use to carry a weight.
D. The height of the weight you carry.
B. wear big bags in the right way
C. avoid using big bags very often
D. give up the fashion to keep fit
